What do robodogs and algorithms have to do with climate change? Introducing, the Border and Surveillance Industry.
The Border and Surveillance Industry is the simplest term for a huge and complex industry that includes the border, military, detention, tech, and finance industries that profit from tracking, harassment, imprisonment, and violence toward people on the move.
The border and surveillance industry is busy at work every day profiting from a web that spans right across the world. Borders can often look obvious - think about the walls and fences on the US Southern Border. Surveillance technology helps to expand these borders, and that is not always so obvious - think about thermal imaging cameras, fleets of drones, and biometric databases - that is huge collections of fingerprints and iris scans, as well as AI and phone and social media tracking.
And what does that have to do with climate?
The Transnational Institute reported that the world’s biggest emitters of greenhouse gases are spending, up to fifteen times as much on arming their borders as they are on climate finance for the world’s poorest. Rather than keeping their promises on climate justice, rich countries are responding to increased climate-linked migration by investing in attacking people who move. When nations militarize their borders, that does not stop people from needing to move. It simply forces people to make longer and more deadly journeys. And even if we're not on the move right now, this affects us all.

Fuck off I refuse to join your shitty fascist organization.
Tumblr media
I am genuinely disgusted that I got this ad while browsing YouTube considering the fact that the fucking Border Patrol (ESPECIALLY ICE) has been actually terrorizing migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers and putting them in actual full-blown concentration camps (and probably even death camps/extermination camps considering recent events).
Anyways if you are a Border Patrol agent or an ICE agent, or if you support the fucking Border Patrol or ICE, unfollow me, fuck off, and die. 🖕🏻

kye lovato + with a vengeance ⇢
◖ nonbinary (they/them) ◗ black sheep of the family ◖ mexican ◗ ex-stripper ◖ sufferfest ◗ unlikeable mentally ill babe ◖ catholic guilt but make it sexy ◗
excerpt from chapter one:
The Haunted
A Spanish moth burned itself on a dim bulb, bouncing relentlessly against the curved, moon-like surface. Kye Lovato imagined what it might sound like, small and hopeful, chanting light, light, light, and wanted to ask about its journey—the flight from there to here—but logic kept their mouth firmly shut. What if we share an answer? Four hours, fifty-eight minutes. What if they’d arrived on the very same evening a displaced moth had decided to die in search of somewhere sunnier? They sipped a menthol cigarette. What if they’d bargained with God after all? 
The old order of things has passed away. 
Starlight skated swampy autumn fog and a second generation of lightning bugs winked through the blackness, hovering above Virginia willow busheled near the mailbox. Kye leaned against the cracked doorframe. 
The house probably didn’t remember them—couldn’t, really. Too many years had come and gone. But their bare feet still fit neatly on the warped porch, and they knew how the soggy balustrade might bend beneath their palm. They recognized thorny wire looped through notches in faraway fenceposts and the chew-stains underneath the lamp where their granddad used to spit. 
Kye flicked their cigarette into a marshy puddle and watched a toad leap from the shadow beneath the first step, swallowing the hot filter whole. “You and me both,” they said to the toad. Seconds later, the sad, lost moth hurled itself at the bulb. Its wings splayed, then it dropped, seizing pitifully. Kye clucked their tongue. 
“Sorry,” they offered—as if either creature understood—and imagined hosting a funeral. Tiny caskets, and cabernet communion, and do not let your hearts be troubled. 
But funerals were for the living and Kye wasn’t sure they counted as alive anymore. 
The screen whined on rusty hinges. They set their shoulder against the door, smacking it once, twice, a third time. Finally, it gave way and they stumbled into the musty darkness. 
Home—scented like moss crawling upward form the cellar—home—an open cadaver, every door, every hall—home—unstitched and post-mortem. 
They inhaled the balmy air and felt for the switch underneath the window. Once illuminated, the foyer yawned like a mouth saddled with staircase teeth; throat gummed with embossed wallpaper. They touched the chipped knob on the closet door, dragged their fingertips over crooked family portraits, and walked into the kitchen. 
Their childhood had reeked of guajillo and tomato, wet masa and slippery stone, and for a moment, they saw their abuelita swaying in front of the stove, and their mother rinsing a dish in the shallow sink. When they blinked, the long-gone Sunday morning vanished, and they were left with nothing but their inheritance: an unsellable house in an underfunded parish. 
You shall blush for the gardens that you have chosen. 
If their father could’ve passed the house to anyone else, he would’ve. But Kye was the only Lovato left to take it. 
They pulled the cord on a cheap chandelier, washing the wobbly mahogany table in ugly yellow light. A paperback rested face-down next to the saltshaker, and a grimy plate scaled with dried syrup filled a placemat in front of a pulled-out chair. The glass slider held their reflection like a fist. 
Fuck, look at you, they thought, and scraped their fingers through their shoulder-length hair. They laid their hand over the viper inked onto their neck, its sleek, crimson head split for white fangs and a pink tongue. 
Mom would call you devil. She would’ve. She did. 
The house leaned into Louisiana silence. Stubborn cicadas hissed, hounds hollered from the neighbor’s outdoor pen, and Kye searched for the overgrown cypress in the backyard. They could hardly see the gnarled arms and long trunks. It was too dark to decipher much more than their translucent reflection: thick waist, ripped denim. Purplish circles hollowed their eyes, and a dark hand circled the naked side of their throat. 
They’d felt it before, that weight on their windpipe, but they’d never seen it. Never watched it spread and squeeze, halting their breath the same way a panic attack did. They thought of the toad and the moth and swallowed against mindful suffocation. A voice filled their skull. 
Have you come here to die?

Excerpt:
Thousands of immigrants had their personal information released by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Monday.
On Wednesday, the LA Times reported that 6,252 migrants who said they were escaping torture and persecution in their countries of origin had their personal information published by ICE on the agency's website.
According to the report, ICE claims it accidentally publicly posted the data while carrying out a "routine update of its website." The LA Times says the data includes migrants' names, case statuses, and detention locations. The data was uploaded to a page on the ICE website where the agency normally posts information pertaining to detentions.

Fuck ICE for going to Robb elementary school in texas. Because checking to see if your child is alive after a mass shooting needs to be even scarier with the risk of deportation

Why does climate justice = migrant justice? 
Climate change is often referred to as a threat multiplier: It intersects with other forces, vulnerabilities, and inequities and makes them worse. When you think about it - this actually elevates the importance of building alliances and mutual commitments across movements. The ideal and effective response to these compounding factors needs the engagement and alignment of multiple movements, including climate and environmental justice; immigrant and Indigenous justice; racial, LGBTQ+, gender justice, and economic justice.
Border violence profiteering is climate change profiteering. PERIOD. The latest IPCC reports are clear - the climate crisis does not care about lines drawn on maps. Creating safe pathways for people to move and live in dignity is essential. You know how, in the environmental movement, we reject the idea of sacrifice zones from environmental destruction? That is so important. Climate injustice is migration injustice - it’s the border and surveillance industry pushing attacks on people on the move instead of climate action. And so migrant justice - standing with those on the frontline of the emergency - is climate justice. 
Humans have moved for tens of thousands of years, for every reason imaginable. That is not new. Migration has been caused and complicated by war, enslavement, and persecution. Today, migrants and refugees must not be stigmatized - if anything needs to be stigmatized it is corporate profiteering from refugee and migration abuse. Migrants are not a problem to be solved, safe migration is and always has been part of the solution. qbv

if you think it’s fine for a 23 year old german man to move to america on a 90 day work visa but not for a 23 year old peruvian man to move to america on a 90 day work visa you should step in a bear trap long enough to think about where that thought process comes from.

"A new report by Harvard University-affiliated researchers and the nonprofit group Physicians for Human Rights found the dangerous confinements have not only persisted over the past decade, but also increased in frequency and duration under the Biden administration.
The report highlights the gap between President Joe Biden’s campaign rhetoric and the lived reality of an estimated 3,000 immigrant detainees held in isolation last year, often for prolonged periods — a practice that the United Nations warned can amount to torture.
'This is a sheer failure of the Biden administration to stop egregious human rights abuses,' Tessa Wilson, a senior program officer for Physicians for Human Rights and a co-author of the report, told the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, or ICIJ. 'The use of solitary confinement is actually only increasing.'
The adverse effects of solitary confinement — generally defined as isolation without meaningful human interaction for 22 hours a day or more — are well documented. It can cause extreme psychological and emotional distress, and lead to sleeplessness, chronic depression, hallucinations, self-harm, and suicidal impulses.
In the U.S., home to the world’s largest immigration detention system, solitary confinement has become a go-to tool to manage the swelling number of detained immigrants. More than 38,000 people, including long-term U.S. residents and people seeking asylum, were in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody as of January 28, 2024.
In 2019, ICIJ and The Intercept published Solitary Voices, an investigation that examined the misuse and overuse of solitary confinement, labeled “segregation,” in detention centers under the agency’s control. A review of more than 8,400 internal ICE incident reports from 2012 to 2017 revealed that many detainees were placed in isolation cells for weeks or months at a time, including people with preexisting mental illnesses and other vulnerabilities.
The investigation found that solitary confinement was used to punish some detainees for offenses as minor as consensual kissing or giving haircuts to one another. ICE also segregated hunger strikers, LGBTQ+ people, and people with disabilities."
Article from the 6th of February, 2024.
